Our Mission Statement

Love, Laughter, and Hope

The Isaac Foundation’s mission is to fund innovative research projects that aim to find a cure for MPS, a rare, debilitating, and devastating disease.

We provide support for families of individuals suffering from MPS and advocate on their behalf to ensure government funding for expensive, life-sustaining treatments are covered by the health care system.

Since 2007, we have provided almost $1 million to research grants that seek to cure MPS, and administer the highly successful MPS II Fund, dedicating every dollar donated to research projects around the world. We will continue to work tirelessly to raise awareness of this disease, and support and educate families as they deal with the devastating diagnosis that MPS can bring, until we find a cure.

Everything. Simply. Stops.

When someone is diagnosed with a rare disease, it’s heartbreaking. Everything. Simply. Stops. Hope seems lost, and there seems like there is nowhere to turn.

1 in 10 people currently live with a rare disease. 30% of children affected with a rare disease won’t live to see their 5th birthday. Yet, 95% of rare diseases have no available treatment option.

These statistics are staggering. But there is Hope. At the Isaac Foundation, we’re here to help. Reach out to us for support, education, or help gaining access to the life-saving treatments you or your child need.

Every second we get to share with those we love in this beautiful world are important. Every memory made, every laugh, every tear. Every hand held, every hug given and received. They all matter. In his short 20 years in this world, Lucas knew just that, and he made each and every moment special - for him and for others.

Today, I popped my head out of my hidey-hole for a little while to do a little bit of work that was important to me. It was tough - I've purposely left everything aside for a while as we all huddle together as a family and prep for Isaac's surgery. Which is tomorrow. I purposely let my world stop turning.

At night while snuggling with Mom, he's been asking if there will ever be a surgery that he doesn't wake up from.

I've often said the most difficult thing about this journey has
